  1. The 8-Bit Computer Implemented in K’NEX
    It's an oft-forgotten fact that the workings of the modern computer don't require electronics. All of the basic logic gates can be implemented, although much more slowly and prone to malfunction, with physical Newtonian parts.

    Shadowman39 has been working hard to implement an 8-bit computer entirely out of parts of the building set K'

  2. Opening up my 2010 projBox, my first experience with Arduino. Apart from the birdshit solder joints, sticky potentiometers and not-even rat's nest wiring:

    * one out of the four switches doesn't register;

    * one of the LEDs is connected to the wrong port;

    * one of the potentiometers somehow affects other analogue channels.

    Maybe I'll rewire it. It might benefit from a hard-wired shield. Kind of proud of the period-appropriate Arduino Duemilanove in there, though

  7. Milestone: achieved gender parity in both programming courses I’m teaching next semester #SwiftUI and #PhysicalComputing. A regular repost with ideas on how faculty, especially those who “look like me” can promote tech diversity. open.substack.com/pub/profgall

  12. Here's a look at Week 11 of #CircuitPython #PhysicalComputing class. Students made rubber band launchers with a #RaspberryPi Pico, joystick, 3 servos, and a button. Big fun! youtube.com/shorts/envNY1mYCEQ

  17. eek, found my old projBox — complete with Arduino Duemilanove and my then-terrible soldering. It was my introduction to Physical computing.

    Anyone else get their start with Arduino/Processing with the O'Reilly course "Processing and Arduino in Tandem"? The projBox was designed for that course

  22. PyCharm is a fantastic editor for #CircuitPython. I use it in my #PhysicalComputing course. The IDE has changed recently so here is an updated install video focused on the @raspberrypi pico dealing with the quirks of editing & running code on a microcontroller youtu.be/5LoXTVGlNVU?si=9_XAXP
